Who Should AttendParticipants who have successfully completed the FDP101X are eligible to attend this FDP.

Duration and VenueThis Two week FDP consists of three components as follows:1. Online work by individual participants: Each partici-pant is expected to access the online platform, using a PC at home or office, on any convenient day and time during the week, with an online test every week. Each participant has to spend 6 to 8 hours of efforts per week during this component of the FDP. This is equivalent to one day of work in a regular FDP. This activity will be spread over 5 calendar weeks: From Thursday 14 September 2017 to Thursday 12 October 2017.2. Face-to-Face interaction: Participants will have to physically attend these sessions at their chosen or designated Remote Centres (RCs), established across the country by IIT Bombay. Focused interactive sessions with the participating teachers, will be conducted by the faculty from IIT Bombay. The discussions and local tutorial sessions will be moderated by the Workshop Coordinators appointed at each RC. This activity will be conducted on the weekends of: 16 & 17 September 2017 and 7, 8 October 2017.3. Team Assignment: Teams of 3 to 5 members will be formed from amongst the participants at each RC. Each team is required to create and review the assignment, and submit the same online. Here again, each participant has to spend adequate effort, albeit in a coordinated manner with other members of the team.

Course FeeFunding support from Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD) permits us to offer the FDP without any course fees. Participants have to take care of their expenses for travel/food during the A-VIEW interaction at Remote Centres

Additional benefitsIt has been decided that 250 top performing partici-pants, will be identified based on the assessment criteria of both the FDPs. Further, they will also be offered an opportunity to participate as associate faculty (with an appropriate honorarium, of course), for conducting these FDPs in future.

Accommodation: Not Applicable

IntroductionIIT Bombay has been involved with distance synchronous education, since year 2000. We have trained over 1,36,000 teachers, in partnership with IIT Kharagpur, under the T10KT (Train 10 Thousand Teachers at a time) project sponsored by NMEICT. All training workshops so far, were on specific subjects of Engineering and Science Education, most of which are taught as core courses in our colleges and universities. The participating faculty has benefitted from these programs.

Online educational methodology, and flipped-classrooms with associated pedagogy of active learning, have quickly emerged as the mainstay of effective education in this century. However, most of our teachers lack skills and competencies for proper and effective use of ICT in education. It is thus an urgent national requirement that all our teachers, at least those teaching in our profes-sional colleges, are empowered to use technology effectively, to enhance the quality of education.

To meet this requirement, IIT Bombay has specially designed a Faculty Development Program (FDP) on "Use of ICT in Education for Online and Blended Learning". A pilot implementation of this course was done during May-July, 2016. A total of 2193 participants had success-fully completed this workshop and had obtained the certificate. The FDP was a single course then having a longer duration.

Based on the inputs of the participants and course team, this year the course is being offered as a two-part FDP so as to focus on both the Technology and Pedagogy. These FDPs are conducted under the aegis of Pandit Madan Mohan Malaviya National Mission for Teachers and Teaching (PMMMNMTT). The second course under this FDP, with a focus on pedagogy, is titled Pedagogy for Online and Blended Teaching-Learning Process and is designed as a Blended MOOC (Massive Open Online Course) FDP201x. There will be two weekend face-to-face sessions at the Remote Centres. The course will be offered from 14 September 2017 till 12 October 2017.

The first part of this FDP is scheduled from 03 August to 07 September 2017 and has been explained separately

Learning Objectives for the CourseAfter successful completion of the course, participants will be able to: i. Integrate active learning in their regular teaching-learning practice ii. Create an Open Educational Resource to be used in their classrooms iii. Justify the blending of online instruction in their regular teaching-learning practice iv. Participate in Collaborative Community involved in Open Education Resource creation and dissemination

4. Building and Nurturing Collaborative Communities Open Educational Resources (OERs) Lessons from Open Source Community Evolving Leaders and Mentors Creating and using an OER - Crowdsourcing methods - Quality Assurance - Implementing OER in your classroom Participation in Sectoral Communities

Criteria for CertificationIIT Bombay will award certificates only to those participants who successfully complete prescribed online tests with minimum 50% aggregate score, meaningfully participate in face-to-face sessions, and submitted the team assignment. AICTE has recognized this as a Two-week FDP.
